Yes, We Really Have Sunk This Low

Only a Domestic Terror Attack Can Rescue Brand Obama

"As John Pilger warned leftists right at the start of Obama’s term in office, the presidency of Barack Obama was nothing more than a corporate marketing creation designed to quell building resentment after the Bush era. It has taken two and a half years for most liberals to realize that fact.

The poll shows that 58 per cent of Democrats believe the country is heading in the wrong direction.

Obama’s Democratic base has completely crumbled, with support for Obama’s jobs record plummeting by a whopping 22 points.

Every indication shows that Obama is on his way to a landslide defeat in 2012, which is why Democratic strategists have said the only thing that will save his presidency is a domestic terror attack on the scale of Oklahoma City or 9/11.

Appearing on Chris Matthews’ MSNBC Hardball show last year, former Clintonite and Democrat operative Mark Penn said Obama needed an OKC bombing-style event to regain his popularity.

“Remember, President Clinton reconnected through Oklahoma, right?” said Penn. “And the president right now seems removed. It wasn’t until that speech [after the bombing] that [Clinton] really clicked with the American public. Obama needs a similar defining moment.”
